1. Vandy was a survive and move on game. Reminded me of TCU and UH (Quinn) and K. State (Malik) from last year. Survive and move on.
2. Quinn is still hurt... IMO. He looks like he did last year at this time, but he was able to recover and finish pretty strong. The OL could be banged up, as well. This bye week is perfectly timed.
3. The new "NBA Flop" in CFB is when the WR gives up on the ball, grabs the d-back around the back, pulls him in and then throws up his arms while falling backwards. The DB is unable to turn and address the ball and it's getting flagged. I have seen it in multiple games. Absolutely what happend on 4th and 7 against Vandy.
4. I love the resurgence of aggy. They don't handle spotlight or expectation well. The fall will be great.
5. M. Reed is their Jerrod Heard ... and this is perfectly timed. He'll play well enough the next two games to jack up expectations.
6. He'll sputter against Auburn, aggy will claim "they were looking ahead to Texas" ... but it will be more than that.
7. Everything crashes for aggy on Nov. 30. PK will get all he needs on film over the next few weeks to shut him down.
8. Smart gave Sark the blueprint to stop his offense. I think Sark believes he can win the next three doing what he does (time will tell). I also think he will use the next 3 games to set up his gameplan for aggy... where everything (like Georgia did on D) on offense will look one way pre-snap and turn into something entirely different post snap. 31-20, Texas.
9. An 11:00 KO time for #4 tOSU vs. #3 State Penn is a crappy draw for the home team. I could see Penn State winning a rowdy night game, but I bet OSU covers at 11:00.
10. I have not missed watching Big 12 football. Wow. Tech vs. Iowa St. and K. State v. UH are their prime games this week. That's ugly.
11. I am curious about what Kentucky will do @ Tenn. Could be similar to what we see in ATX for what could be a tricky game sandwiched between arky and aggy.
12. D. Gabriel is going to be in NY while OU is home for the holidays. OUch.
